Cream City Venture Capital looks to partner with companies that are leveraging technology to address problems in large markets. While we do not have a specific industry focus, we are interested in teams with a deep point of view on the problems they are solving, along with the vision to solve them.

We seek investments at the earliest stages to provide capital at a critical point in a company’s growth. Generally, this means participating in investments at the seed or Series A stage. Initial investment amounts will be in the $100,000 to $250,000 range, but we are more focused on partnering with the right founding teams and may consider smaller or larger investments. We are open to leading investment rounds or working alongside other local and regional investors.

Our aim is to create the next generation of technology-driven companies headquartered in Milwaukee in partnership with you. We’re looking for passionate, driven entrepreneurs who can imagine what’s possible with us. As active venture capital investors, Northwestern Mutual has a deep understanding of what it takes to build successful technology companies.

We’ll provide early stage capital to our portfolio companies, along with access to the broader resources that only a strong and growing industry leader with 160+ years of experience and the highest financial strength ratings one can offer: access to our network of mentors, ongoing advice from experienced business leaders, a state-of-the-art co-working space and technology resources.
